When asked if considers himself Ireland’s answer to Strictly star Ed Balls – who proved to be an unlikely hit with viewers after appearing on the BBC show – Cahill said he does, except he’s even older than 49-year-old Labour politician.
Des said: “It would [be a fair comparison] except I’m ten years older than Ed Balls. He was the fat old guy and I’m ten years older.”
